That's roughly what I have done (except I just added the ability to
configure the probe type to a copy of the existing platform RAM driver).
A patch against 2.6.13 is below: it probably needs updating.  Ben Dooks
wanted me to re-add the write locking support that the original code had
but I stripped out pending adding windowing support.

I haven't been trying very hard to integrate that yet (I think I posted
it once before), mostly due to not having done what Ben asked although
there's no reason why that couldn't be added later.

That makes sense.  I guess if I were going to do anything with physmap I
would be making it register a platform device rather than just talk to
the MTD code directly.
